Description

NGC 2775 is a rarely imaged, flocculent spiral galaxy situated 67 million light years away in Cancer
There is a massive dust halo surrounding the galaxy and a faint outer halo beyond that which was very hard to resolve, took a lot of iterations to bring them out.

The arms of the main portion of the galaxy have numerous star forming regions interspersed with dust lanes with the central part of the galaxy apparently devoid of new star formation.

Imaged in LRGB on the Planewave CDK 1000 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.
Thank you  Mike for the data and the guidance to process this hard one! I am constantly in awe of your dedication and talent to bring these awesome, rare galaxies to image.
